On the occasion of a 60th birthday celebration and surprisingly this wine continues to taste fresh and vibrant. Served quite cold so subdued on the nose with honey and apricot - but super weight and refined taste; apricot, pineapple, with real clarity and balance.

Four years since I tasted this vintage, and real changes, all for the good - familiar golden brown colour, with intense apricot, honey on the nose. To taste there’s extra weight and depth - apricot, pineapple, papaya? What’s amazing in a way is that this all tastes so fresh and clean given the big flavours. The taste goes on and on. Superb

Subdued honey caramel on the nose, but with a huge hit of apricot, honey and marmalade to taste - very long with sugar, slightly burnt and tropical fruit hints going on and on. Not much in the way of development in the couple of years since my last bottle - enjoying the weight and clean fruit taste.
